One of the things about having a farm in the tropics is that we have to deal with all sorts of biting bugs year round, because it never freezes.

I’m loathe to use products with Deet in them, so am always on the lookout for products that don’t have Deet in them but that do actually work.

We’ve been trying out these Superband Bug Bracelets and stickers and they are working remarkably well. It looks like they last about a week, which is perfect for a Hawaiian vacation. They come in many colors, and also include very cute stickers which can be placed on hats or shirts for the youngest vacationers.
